Volunteers
Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization. Without their dedication and hard work, we would not be able to provide the opportunities and experiences that we do for our athletes. We are grateful for each and every volunteer who gives their time to help us succeed.
Thank you for all that you do!

Volunteer Sign Up 2025-2026
Trails West is using Sign Up Genius for association volunteer opportunities throughout the season, such as pre-skates, evaluations, and other association-directed events. Sign-up opportunities will be emailed to members as they become available. Thank you for volunteering!
Volunteer Bond Information
The volunteer bond requirement will be for all members to contribute a minimum amount of volunteer time throughout the hockey season. The purpose is to ensure a more equitable distribution of volunteering across the association in an effort to provide a higher and more consistent level of programming.

|---|---|
| U7 | 1 |
| U9 | 2 |

- Ex. If you have a U15 and a U18 player you must complete 4 credits.
- Ex. If you have a U9, a U11, & a U13 player, you must complete the 4 credit maximum
Members who don't complete their required volunteer credits will be invoiced for $250 on March 31, 2025.
